Galway City Council’s meeting was suspended this week after a councillor compared the mayor to Mussolini.
The City of the Tribe’s Mayor, Colette Connolly, stopped proceedings after another councillor, Fianna Fáil’s Alan Cheevers, said she was controlling the meeting, “like Mussolini.”
Ms Connolly took umbrage and promptly suspended Monday evening’s council meeting for five minutes.
